"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

Hundreds of grenades exploded continuously among the Japanese. The m24 long-handled grenade containing one hundred grams of t*n*t explosives was extremely powerful, and the Japanese on the hillside fell one by one.

Since it still has four to five seconds of delayed explosion time, some of the thrown grenades rolled down the hillside for a period of time before exploded. In this way, even the Japanese behind were hit by the seedlings and they fell in line.

This grenade rain killed and injured more than half of the Japanese soldiers on the attack. The Japanese could no longer organize a strong offensive, so they had to retreat down the mountain.

Wu Cheng finally dropped two grenades. He saw with his own eyes that one of them hit a Japanese man. After the explosion, the Japanese man turned into a blood gourd and rolled down the hillside.

It's strange that Wu Cheng was always waving the broken arm in front of him when he was in a daze. Now he saw that he had dropped a bomb with his own hands and killed the Japanese soldier, and he could no longer see the broken arm. He seemed to have a sigh of anger in his heart, and picked up another grenade and pulled the strings, then threw it hard at the retreating Japanese soldier.

The Japanese army suffered extremely casualties this time. In addition to leaving corpses in front of the position, there were also many wounded soldiers carried down. The Japanese did not launch another attack for a long time, and the Second Battalion also gained a valuable respite.

Taking advantage of the battle, the soldiers rescued the wounded and replenished ammunition. The battalion commander and company commander inspected the positions and learned about the battle situation.

Li Qinglin also checked the situation of the personnel in the third row, and the situation was not optimistic. There were twenty-five people left in the third row, and three of them were slightly injured.

The large army of the Kuomintang has left, and the people have basically evacuated. The people who died in battle have to be buryed. The troops have to deal with the war themselves. But surprisingly, a stretcher team came to the position, and the leader was the Communist Zhang Guoyuan. (For the matter of the Communist Party's organization of stretcher teams and transportation teams in the early stages of the cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, you can check the history of the anti-Japanese war and the memoirs of relevant personnel in the relevant local chronicles)

When the battalion commander inspected the position of the Fourth Company, he happened to meet Zhang Guoyuan and others in the trenches to treat the wounded. The battalion commander knew very well who Zhang Guoyuan and others were. It is human nature to seek profit and avoid harm, so the more he was in trouble, the more he showed the noble character of these people. The battalion commander seemed to have forgotten the party dispute at this time. He held Zhang Guoyuan's hand tightly and said: "Thank you! Thank you!"

The people were basically evacuated, and Zhang Guoyuan brought not many people, with only a dozen stretchers in total. Seeing that Zhang Guoyuan and the others were all naked, Li Qinglin said to the battalion commander: "Sir, they carry our people and don't have any weapons in their hands. If they are targeted by the Japanese, wouldn't it be a dead end? Should we give them some guns so that we can protect our wounded at critical moments?"

There were great casualties on the position, and there were many excess guns and bullets. The battalion commander waved his hand and said, "Okay! Li Ligong, give each of them a gun and tell them that saving one more wounded soldier means leaving one more seed for the War of Resistance."

When Zhang Guoyuan and the others carried rifles and put on the full-filled bullet belt, Zhang Guoyuan held Li Qinglin's hand tightly and said excitedly: "Sir, we are all Chinese, we must take good care of these brothers."

After seeing Zhang Guoyuan and the others away, Li Qinglin also inspected the positions in his platoon. Seeing Wu Cheng sitting alone in the trenches and silently brushing his gun, Li Qinglin nodded in his heart. It seemed that Wu Cheng had broken through the psychological barrier and his fear was getting farther and farther away from him. The rest depends on his performance on the battlefield.

The Japanese army, who had been breathing, began to shell again. They fired poison gas bombs for a while. After the poison gas dissipated, they began to bomb with 1992 infantry cannons. Throughout the afternoon, except for shooting artillery, the Japanese army did not launch a charge.

According to the Japanese army's vengeful mentality, they would definitely launch a large-scale attack after suffering a great loss in the last attack. Now, except for bombing with artillery fire from a long distance, they did not make any other moves.

The Japanese artillery fire and poisonous gas bombs caused casualties to the officers and soldiers on the position. Li Qinglin estimated that less than two-thirds of the officers and soldiers on the position could pick up guns.

But even if the Japanese infantry did not attack in this case, it would be strange.

If things are abnormal, they will become demons!

Sure enough, in the evening, the company commander hurried over and notified Li Qinglin: Everyone broke through early tomorrow morning!

Li Qinglin said: "Breakthrough? Are we surrounded by the Japanese?"

The company commander smiled bitterly and said, "I just got the news from the regiment headquarters. The Japanese did not attack us in the afternoon because they mobilized two troops to penetrate from our left and right sides. Our current situation is to be attacked from three sides. If we wait until tomorrow morning, we will be attacked from all sides. At that time, we can't even leave."

Li Qinglin gasped in his heart. The Japanese were so terrible when fighting. They bypassed the hard nail in the Weili Mountain position and used other troops to surround the 527th Regiment. In fact, they only had to surround for one or two days, and the 527th Regiment, which had no reinforcements or food, would collapse without fighting.

It seems that the decision-making in the group is correct. In order not to be eliminated by the Japanese, thirty-six strategies are the best.

The order to break through reached every soldier. Everyone was checking equipment, wiping weapons, replenishing ammunition, and making final preparations for the early morning breakout.

Today is September 18th, which is the Mid-Autumn Festival in the August lunar calendar. It is another sunny day at night, with no clouds in the sky. The Mid-Autumn moon is like a large jade plate. It hangs high in the sky, and the moonlight shines on the earth is particularly bright.

The above ordered all the officers and soldiers to rest well in the first half of the night and accumulate energy for breaking through the second half of the night. However, the temperature in the mountains was very low, and the soldiers in the trench were so cold that they could not sleep. Some soldiers looked at the bright moon from afar, talking about their relatives at home and the interesting things about celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival at home.

Li Qinglin was also looking at the bright moon from afar, and missing his relatives under the same moonlight, but his worries exceeded his longing - under such bright moonlight, it was impossible for so many people to break through quietly without being discovered by the enemy. Li Qinglin even imagined what kind of killing they would suffer once the troops started to act.

Amid this worry, Li Qinglin fell asleep in a daze.

Just in a daze, Li Qinglin was pushed to death. It turned out that the time to make a breakout was up. Li Qinglin took out his pocket watch and it was almost two o'clock in the morning.

Li Qinglin looked up at the sky. When it started, there were already some clouds in the sky. Under the blowing of the autumn wind, these clouds were slowly moving. The moon was exposed and hidden, and the earth was constantly alternating between light and dark.

Seeing this situation, Li Qinglin felt relieved. Although it was not completely dark now, it was much better than breaking through under the bright moonlight.

The officers and soldiers were consciously checking their equipment, and everyone was quietly waiting for the final order.
